Toyota has unveiled a new camper called Tanuki, based on the Proace Max van. The model is designed for two people and comes with sleeping areas, a kitchen with gas burners, a refrigerator, and a bathroom with shower and toilet. Equipment includes keyless entry, climate control and navigation, with optional solar panels and an awning.
The camper is offered in two lengths: 6 and 6.36 meters (according to other sources, 6 and 6.5 meters). It is powered by a 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 140 or 180 hp (the 140 hp version is available with a manual gearbox, the 180 hp with an automatic). Insulation, a 100-liter water tank, a gas heater and a battery are included. Prices have not been announced; the warranty is 3 years or 100,000 km. The name Tanuki refers to a magical raccoon from Japanese folklore.
